Cyclist v Motorist that's actually worth watching

dacouch

Great cyclist v motorist clip.

What makes it great is the very last bit of the clip.

Warning contains a swearing motorist.

Karma is a b!tch

It's all over face ache too. Good ending but I'd have liked to see the weasel of a cyclist get lamped too.

watched the full video, quite clear the driver has a very serious issue with cyclists.
The first overtake was aggressive and deliberately dangerous .

It ended with a very large well served dose of Karma.

Most cyclist videos are boring but it really does have a great ending and not the ending you were expecting.

Someone on another forum said the action at the end was very familiar to Wayne Rooney along with the guys looks

No wasn't expecting that ending, it's just the fact the cyclist actively follows him to wind him up and then rides off. They should both be put before a court for their actions.

Hahaha. Hint to shouty sweary driver: if you don't want to be filmed committing assault and making death threats in public, don't commit assault and make death threats in public!

Although if the cyclist does take this to the police he can expect PC Plod to be less than impressed by his own part in the incident.

To be honest, Now I have a car and I pay my "road tax" lots of it.
I also have a cycle .
What you notice is there is a minority of motorists who have a angry vendetta against cyclists.
Especially if they over take and you get back in front later on.
Some will try to hurt you for no other reason than they blame you for all the road tax they have to pay.
It should be a "hate crime" to target any cyclist with a loaded sentence for hate crime.
The odds are far to stacked in the favour of the angry man in the two tonne metal box for it to be anything else.

If you can not drive without getting angry all the time, you should not be on the road, anger alters peoples judgements.

This war has to be brought to a close and using "hare crime" laws is how it should be done.
A few examples before the courts and it will stop

Two tonne Peugeot 405?

Hate crime, don't be stupid, you don't have to be black, gay or a Muslim to ride a bike.

Cyclist not entirely blameless. It is annoying following cyclists going down middle of road BUT the motorist should be ashamed.

I'm not sure that's the right coursing of action

I have two cars and two motorcycles, all tax-paid. I guess that means I pay a lot more road tax than most motorists.

I also have a bicycle, and I'm entitled to ride it on the road without being obliged to (i) ride it in all the crap in the gutter (ii) ride so close to parked cars that I will certainly be knocked off if a door opens or (iii) endanger myself by allowing cars just enough room to squeeeeze past.

In any of those circumstances you will find me in the middle of my lane. You will also find that, if I am delaying other vehicles, I will move over and give them room to pass as soon as it is safe for me to do so.

It's simple courtesy, and it cuts both ways.
